Tenons with a Dado Stack Tenons with a Crosscut Blade ISet the height of your dado stack equal to the depth of your shoulder (3/i6" in this case). Set the fence to equal the length of the tenon you want (1" here).The backup block reduces tearout. Make the face cheek cuts first. 1 First define the shoulders on the face and cheek sides. Set the height of the blade to 3/ie" and the fence to the length of your tenon (don't forget to count the thickness of the blade). 2 Cut the edge shoulders and cheeks in the same way. If you want a bigger shoulder, increase the height of the dado stack after cutting all the face cheeks and shoulders. 2 Now set your fence and blade height to remove the waste from the face cheeks. Be careful to keep the work tightly against the fence and your fingers away from the blade. Using a higher subfence is a good idea. 3 It's a good idea to check the fit of every tenon in a test mortise. The thickness of your tenon will vary slightly if you put less downward pressure on the tenon during the cut. If the tenon is a shade too thick, try making a couple more passes using more pressure. 3 Using your miter gauge and a backing board for support, remove the waste from the edge cheeks. Keep your blade at the same height from the last step. 82 Popular Woodworking October 2002 |
